We are not making personal profit from this story, but if it has touched you and you are considering buying some real Giraffe Bread (real Giraffes not included), please also consider making a small donation to the Disasters Emergency Committee, so that more children can eat. So many children, particularly in East Africa, are right now facing another day with no food. Let’s make this a real good news story. You could do it right now through Paypal and quote the DEC email address to donate: donations@dec.org.uk.

Update 1st Feb I have discovered today that DEC’s East Africa Appeal has just closed, so you can no longer text the word DEC to 70000 to donate £5. But you can still donate towards their appeal for future emergencies, or you could give to the work in East Africa by donating to one of their member charities feeding people there right now, such as Tear Fund.

Thank you for taking an interest, and thank you for making a difference.

Well done Lily and family! Such an interesting story, I used to have Tiger bread whilst at uni with salted or garlic butter! It’s been ages, but your story has reminded me how amazing it actually is :)

Yes, just checked and DEC site says the East Africa appeal closed about 19 hours ago. The charities concerned are still working in these places, but I am not sure the text message system works for them individually. I’ll do a little more work on this and blog again when I can. Thank you for not only trying to give but also letting me know this.

Hi Lucy, I’m writing a consumer relations paper based on Lily’s experience with Sainsbury’s. My email address is mong.emily@gmail.com — please email me if you are willing to answer a few brief questions about the outcome of her letter. Thank you, Emily
